Unmasking the CARES Act: Fast Facts About COVID-19 Unemployment and Social
Security Benefits

By Charles Ouslander, Senior Attorney / PABSS Coordinator

For people with disabilities, the COVID-19 pandemic has been a difficult
and stressful time. Aside from health and safety concerns, there has been
confusion around how public benefits have been affected by the crisis.
People are also unclear about what new programs have been created to help
support those who have lost a job or had their social security benefits
interrupted.

Typically, unemployment insurance benefits are available in each state to
those people who lose their employment. For example, the person who’s been
laid off from their position, quit for good reason or was fired for any
reason, other than serious misconduct or reckless behavior, is entitled to
receive unemployment benefits.

Each state has its own rules, and most states require persons seeking
unemployment benefits to search for full-time work. In New Jersey, if your
claim for unemployment is based on the loss of full-time employment, you
must be looking for full-time employment. Of course, if you find part-time
employment, you must report those wages to the Division of Unemployment
Insurance, and you may still be eligible for partial benefits.
